I have no idea about the US power grid, so your comment may still apply there - though I guess also not for much longer.

The new problem is that in Europe we now occasionally get more than 100% of power needed generated by renewables, so we'd either need storage or fast reacting power plants to compensate for spikes and drops in the renewable supply. We're at a point where we no longer really need new nuclear plants for some 'base load' - which is something they'd be good for. But as cost for operating a nuclear plant is pretty much fixed independent of power output they're very expensive when used for compensating spikes, something Finland just learned the hard way this year.

"She's a beauty"

Is he running his system from something like FAT to make executing VI do something useful?

Bleibt zu hoffen das die gema sich damit selbst abschafft.

Als ich letztes Jahr zugehoert habe wie ein paar Senioren fuer eine Dorfveranstaltung das Thema Gema diskutieren, und anderen erklaert haben wie sie sicherstellen dass die Musik Gemafrei ist, und das korrekt dokumentieren damit Gema da nicht rumzickt war mir klar dass das die langfristig endlich sterben werden.

Mine are handling oit perfectly fine - and we have the added difficulty of having German as mother tongue, and wanting to keep the English language content in the kids library low. Finding german language torrents is rather tricky.

Ich hab das erst vor ein paar Jahren zusammengepuzzled: Ich hatte in einem Jahr nach einer Grundschulveranstaltung einen Scholoriegel bekommen - Raider. Ich hab danach viele Jahre versucht den wieder zu finden, aber ohne Erfolg.

Der Zeitrahmen passt auf die Umbenennung - von der Werbekampagne hab ich erst vor ein paar Jahren gelernt. Ich hab zwar irgenwdwann Twix entdeckt, was mich daran erinnert hat - aber ich wusste eben dass das Ding nicht Twix hiess und hab weitergesucht.

Both. Some work chats also are still IRC, but unfortunately less than they used to.

I also bridge whatever is possible into IRC via bitlbee. Unfortunately not that useful anymore, but looks like there's now an active project to bridge matrix again, which probably can take over.

My irssi configuration is exactly how I want it for about two decades now. Why change something good?

Was man in Deutschland aber mal angehen koennte waere dass generell Reflektoren an der Kleidung nicht nur was fuer Kinder sind.

Hier in Finnland ist es ueblich dass praktisch jeder mehrere Reflektoren an Kleidung und Taschen hat - wir sind jedes mal wenn wir in Deutschland sind wieder ueberrascht wie unsichtbar Fussgaenger sind sobald es dunkel wird.

Spotify pissed me off with some billing or API thing (don't even remember the details) back in 2012, so I cancelled and never looked back. From what I'm reading now and then things is just getting worse and worse - and I have no clue why people (especially paying ones) are sticking with it.

Mostly NFC. Flipper standalone is more versatile than a proxmark3 I used to carry. Also seems the NFC reader is more reliable - you still can do more, and generally have better control via the proxmark when connected to a phone, but for just investigating the flipper is better. And as bonus supports a bunch of other stuff that might be interesting to look into.

I just recently got my flipper - was buying some long range nfc stuff, and noticed they had that in stock, so decided it is cheap enough to just get it and figure out later what it is about.

I'm very pleasantly surprised - sturdy hardware, well polished software, and very good documentation. It is just a great thing to always have in your pocket - digital companion to the swiss army knife I always carry.

I have a lot of more powerful specialized equipment - which pretty much everything in the article is. But most of that isn't really suitable enough to always have it with me - not versatile enough, or limited options without attached computer. flipper is great to just have a look around - and to know what to bring next time, if there's something interesting to investigate further.

edit after having it a bit longer: The versatility of the flipper is still unique, and makes it a pocket knife you just want to carry - but it shows problems on specialist use, probably mainly because it still is a relatively new device. If there's a chance I want to interact with HF NFC I went back to carrying my proxmark (rdv4 with bluetooth addon, small HF only antenna) as well - can read/dump more card types, and has less bugs for card emulation. I still use the flipper to get a first impression, though - it just has the better standalone UI.

A big problem of the proxmark is the need to recompile the firmware for different standalone modes - to make that less painful on the road I've now added packages of git head for Tumbleweed on OBS which contain all possible standalone firmwares for PM3 generic and RDv4 with and without bluetooth.
